United States Seventh Circuit

Sentence for escaping from a halfway house is affirmed over defendant's claims of unreasonableness where: 1) the district court adequately stated its consideration of the sentencing factors; 2) the district court did not err in characterizing defendant's criminal history as "extensive"; 3) the sentence adequately deterred criminal conduct; and 4) instances of lesser sentences for similar offenses were inapposite to defendant's case.
